Service Offering
B2B Data Transformation Foundation Implementing the Right Foundation Framework Benefits • Informatica Professional Services experience ensures optimal installation and configuration • Development of B2B Data Transformation services “on the right foot” with experienced guidance • Implementation of ideal Informatica B2B architecture following well established methodology, best practices and deliverables • Knowledge transfer to enable targeted quick-start for inhouse data transformation development team • Access and use of IPS owned development accelerators (used whenever possible to accelerate deployment work)
Typical Duration • 4 Weeks
Building and deploying transformation services effectively requires careful planning and execution in three areas -- the transformation hosting environment architecture, the transformation service design and the executing environment. As part of this engagement, IPS specialists will review customer needs and recommend appropriate strategies in these areas, ensuring that the critical building blocks are incorporated into the design and architecture before development begins. Customers will benefit from having transformation services built in the most optimal way following best practices and will be educated on how to be self-sufficient in designing, architecting , building and testing transformations. This implementation is suitable for either customers new to B2B Data Transformation or any customer that requires assistance in the initial setup and implementation of B2B Data Transformation. A typical B2B DT foundation engagement includes the following: • Support of the installation and basic configuration of B2B DT within PowerCenter or any
other hosting environment. • Gathering and documenting transformation requirements, mapping specifications,
canonical models, etc. • Designing transformation services and communication with the hosting environment,
integrating with customer systems and processes • Building of transformation services and respective PowerCenter mappings to invoke DT
and collect transformation results • Supporting during UAT and integration testing as required • Enablement on the technology and developed solution
With a “learn how to fish” approach, we intend to educate your selected personnel so that you are self-sufficient and can maintain or further enhance the implementation on your own. The foundation implementation is focused on ensuring success and building solid infrastructure.
Scope The engagement is focused on implementing a selected number of transformations, with at least two (2) data format conversions or up to 400 individual sources to target field mappings combined.
